X-ray Ankle Views

Ankle X-rays help evaluate the condition of bone structure and injuries in the ankle area, including the tibia, fibula, and other small bones.

Indications:
 Ankle injury: fractures, dislocations, or damage from severe impact.
 Ankle pain: unexplained pain or soft tissue injuries.
 Bone infection: assess inflammation or infection in the ankle area.
 Ankle joint degeneration: check the degree of degeneration and structural changes in bones.
 Tumor or abnormal mass: detect tumors or bone lesions.

Contraindications:
 Pregnant women: especially in the first trimester.
 Children: limited unless necessary.
 People who cannot maintain posture: due to pain or limited mobility.

Procedure:
1. Preparation before scanning: the patient removes jewelry and metal objects from their body.
2. Performing the scan:
 Straight position: the patient stands or lies on their back with the leg straight, and the X-ray machine directs the beam straight at the ankle.
 Lateral position: the patient lies on their side with the leg slightly inclined at an appropriate angle, and the X-ray beam is directed from the side.
 Oblique position: the patient stands or lies with the leg at a certain angle to allow the X-ray beam to capture it from various angles.
3. Result evaluation: the X-ray images must be clear, not obscured by surrounding structures, clearly showing the ankle bones and related structures.

Benefits:
 Detailed images: provide detailed views of different aspects of the ankle, aiding in more accurate diagnosis.
 Early detection: helps early detection of injuries or abnormalities, supporting timely and effective treatment.
